About Julian

Julian Assange is an Australian journalist who is founder and editor of WikiLeaks, a transparency organization which publishes censored and restricted materials, specializing in large data sets. Overseeing an organization that has released millions of documents detailing ongoing abuses by some of the most powerful governments and corporations in the world, Assange has had an indisputably large impact on global news, debates and social movements over the last several years.

Founding WikiLeaks

Julian Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006 with the aim to “bring important news and information to the public… One of our most important activities is to publish original source material alongside our news stories so readers and historians alike can see evidence of the truth.” It first began publishing source documents in December of that year.

One of WikiLeaks’ first major releases, published in 2007, was was the a copy of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp’s 2003 Standard Operating Procedures for the US Army.

In its first few years, WikiLeaks released allegations of illegality by the Swiss Bank Julius Baer, Sarah Palin’s Yahoo emails, the secret bibles of Scientology and the membership list of the far-right British National Party.

WikiLeaks and its staff have won numberous journalistic and human rights awards including the 2009 Amnesty International UK media award and the 2011 Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism.

WikiLeaks since 2010

In 2010, WikiLeaks broke into the global spotlight by publishing tens of thousands of classified documents from the United States, from the US Army’s helicopter gunners in ‘Collateral Murder’ to the State Department diplomatic cables.

Because these leaks exposed one of the world’s biggest superpowers, and how it interacts with countries all over the globe, they dominated headlines the world over. These disclosures changed international understanding of politics and journalism as a practice, as debates raged over the ethics of secrecy, radical transparency and reporting on stolen documents.

While the Kenyan disclosures earned Assange awards and acclaim, publishing US secrets incurred the wrath and prosecutorial aggression of high-ranking public officials.

It was later revealed that a grand jury was convened in Alexandria, Virginia, and the 2011 publication of Strafor emails indicated that private intelligence figures were claiming that the United States had a sealed indictment of Assange. The Grand Jury investigation continues today.

When Chelsea (then-Bradley) Manning was revealed as the imprisoned source of the 2010 releases, whistleblowers and leaking ethics became a major issue of public debate. Manning was ultimately convicted of several counts under the Espionage Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and was sentenced to 35 years in military prison, the longest ever penalty for a US leaker. At Manning’s trial, prosecutors attempted to portray Assange as a conspirator who encouraged Chelsea to leak to WikiLeaks.

Swedish Allegations

On 20 August 2010, two women went to the Swedish police after having separate sexual encounters with Assange in order to request he undergo an STD test. Chief Prosecutor of Stockholm Eva Finné reviewed the case and dropped the arrest warrant stating that no crime had been committed. Roughly one week later another prosecutor, Marianne Ny, reopened the preliminary investigation.

Both women have stated they were not raped. Nonetheless, the Swedish prosecution has continued to pursue Assange over six years. After initially stating that it was illegal to question him in the UK, the Swedish prosecution finally took his statement on 14 November 2016.

On 19 May 19 Swedish prosecutors announced that they were withdrawing their arrest warrant for Julian Assange. The London Metropolitan Police released a statement confirming it would arrest Assange over skipping bail when he sought asylum at the Ecuadorian Embassy.

Asylum

On 19 June 2012, Julian Assange entered the Ecuadorian Embassy in order to seek asylum. He feared extradition to the United States where an investigation into him and WikiLeaks remains ongoing.

On 19 August 2012, Ecuador granted political asylum to Assange. They cited a “threat to his life, personal safety and freedom” as the basis for granting his request. Ecuador’s full statement on their reasons for granting his asylum can be read here.

Assange’s life in the Ecuadorian Embassy is difficult. He is in a small space and has no access to sunlight. This has had serious effects on his physical and mental health. He is unable to get necessary medical treatment including an MRI for shoulder pain and dental care. Medical assessments can be read here.

On 30 November 2016, the UNWGAD rejected a request by the UK to review their decision stating that it “did not meet the threshold of a review.”

Trump DOJ charges

In an April 2017 address to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, CIA Director Mike Pompeo’s delivered a tirade against WikiLeaks, in which he declared the organisation a “hostile intelligence service” and said, “we can no longer allow Assange and his colleagues the latitude to use free speech values against us.”

Later that month, several media outlets reported that the Trump Department of Justice had prepared charges to prosecute WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange, each with slightly different information about what the charges might entail.

The Washington Postreported that US officials are “taking a second look at a 2010 leak of diplomatic cables and military documents and investigating whether the group bears criminal responsibility for the more recent revelation of sensitive CIA cyber-tools, according to people familiar with the case.” During Manning’s court martial, the government’s lawyers attempted to prove that Assange “conspired” in the 2010 disclosures by “directing” Manning to leak certain documents. In her statement to the court explaining her actions, Manning directly rejected this claim, saying no one from WikiLeaks ever directed her, and the military judge acquitted her of “aiding the enemy.”

The Post also reported that prosecutors have been “drafting a memo possibly including conspiracy, theft of government property or violating the Espionage Act.” CNN reported that one of the key elements for investigators was related to WikiLeaks work assisting NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump praised WikiLeaks for publishing documents from the DNC, even saying, “I love WikiLeaks”, encouraging them to leak more documents, and publicizing DNC disclosures. In an interview with AP after the charge announcement, however, Trump said that “it’s OK with” him if Assange is arrested.

Maurice writes from HMP Parc - letter dated 28 Dec. 17 - he was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment at Cardiff Crown Ct. on the 14 December for the alleged "breach of a restraining order" again - an order that was never served according to the law, pertaining to the dubious doctor who claimed, amongst other things, that Maurice had a "brain tumour" and was a threat to himself and society and should therefore be locked away permanently in a closed mental unit. Proper tests that took literally years to get undertaken finally proved that Maurice had no "brain tumour" [see: 5 SEPT: MAURICE KIRK: DOLMANS SOLICITORS, GMC WILL NOT ERASE FALSE REPORT ABOUT NON-EXISTENT “BRAIN TUMOUR”] and the entire thing was, allegedly, an extremely dubious example of the skullduggery Maurice has become used to over the 23+ years he has been fighting, perfectly reasonably, for justice, yet seems to have been punished for so many times. Each couple of years the figure for the years he has been imprisoned unfairly since 2009 goes up - now this figure has gone up to 7 years unfairly imprisoned since 2009 with the addition of this present term - maybe even longer. Seeing as this present term of imprisonment alone is based on a restraining order that wasn't served as the law clearly states it must be in the first place it is remarkably unfair and unjust that a 72 year old citizen should have to put up with such continuing irregularities, considering these are prison sentences and the loss of Maurice's very freedom that's happening here, not a paltry monetary fine or similar. It seems that if Maurice had knowledge alone of such an order he is guilty if it is broken - is this right? As the Recorder of Wales stated in a recent hearing that Maurice "had knowledge" of the order - as she proceeded to give him the date for his 4th trial of "breaching" it. How can this be legal? After all, despite even a jury at a hearing once asking to see the original order, it couldn't be produced.As is normal for Maurice Kirk whilst he is unjustly imprisoned yet again, basic rights of phone calls, to family, lawyer, and friends etc. are denied him, plus photocopying at his own expense and more are denied him, and worse is that not only was he was denied being taken to a court hearing on the 18 December for, presumably, one of the many cases he has running against certain authorities, but also a hospital appointment has been denied him too, as shown in his letter received on the 30 Dec. 2017 ="28/12/17 "Thanks. My first post today after 15 days in prison and still refused permission to telephone my family, mckenzie friends, a lawyer re: machine gun blocked civil damages claim or the RCJ re: police failed 37 malicious prosecutions, RCJ criminal appeal 2014 parole board, alone doubling my prison term [C40CF012] at court of appeal, denied photocopying at my expense, hand my car key out to rescue my legal papers, refused right to pay bills etc. - deja vu? Prison refused to produce me to my 18 December hearing or my hospital appointment [just like HMP Swansea in 2014] under police orders, again, I assume. REMEMBER no court order applies to you or anyone else - so publish what you like and be damned! Is Sabine in or out? None of this letter is confidential. Please circulate. Ring Guy - has he been able to rescue my legal papers + van? Email Celia with French tow truck - if not moved in next eg. 10 days Depamnage Galivel [number] Jean Claude may be able to move it [number] PDQ [key under tree opposite] was not there I asked - even tested to check if I was out! - if that is not proof enough? Remember this applying Gulag Card and targetting someone who is a problem to authorities will win - if not well advertised. I need your help to get evidence to RCJ - I am refused.
